The Superlite rifle is a great plinker or hunting rifle that is a breeze to carry and shoot. It features a super lightweight but ultra tough CNC-machined, Type III hard-anodized aluminum receiver rather than the stainless steel receiver of the other Volquartsen rifles, and comes standard with the Lightweight THM tension barrel.
The Lightweight Carbon Fiber barrel is the original “lightweight bull barrel”: a small-diameter stainless barrel with laser-hardened breech and a carbon-fiber sleeve that leaves an air space for heat dissipation. Standard models have a removable Forward Blow Comp and the 2.25 lb TG2000 trigger.
